 not for MBA students Mar 16, 2006
By Lucy122
This book was required for an MBA class. It is more suited for undergraduates. It does not encourage deeper thinking or analysis appropriate for the graduate level.
The book is strong in theoretical understanding but weak in management applications. It is nice to be able to list the names of motivation theories, for example, but the authors seem uanble to provide criteria one might want to consider for policy decisions. I wonder if this book is by and for academics who have no real life work experience but need to publish or perish.
End of chapter supplementary articles are only from the New York Times. Although the book's introductory material lets us know how wonderful this is, a greater variety of source material would enhance the overall effectiveness. After all, the book does speak of diversity.
To its credit, the book is reasonably readable and does not overwhelm us with too much esoteric academic speak.

 Great book. Must have it, if you are studying Org. Behavior Mar 14, 2005
By Miten
A colorful introductory textbook on organizational behavior that integrates concepts, theories, and research findings to examine individuals in organizations, groups and organizational processes, and inter-group relations and the organizational context. Case studies illuminate concepts and provide managerial implications. There is a diversity of heuristic features, some integrated into the text and some at the end of each chapter or part.
Great book. Must have it, if you are studying Organizational Behaviors (OB).
Also, this book is well known to many of top ranked universities in Graduate Programs (MBA) and No. of copies this books have been sold are in few hundred thousands !!! (@ 380,000 copies) justifies it's strength and quality of knowledge as well.

Book got here on time and in the state that it was offered. I am happy with how everything happened.
 Copy cat Oct 10, 2011
By Azimuth
The book did not say it is a custom edition. In fact it is copied from an old edition. I was shocked when I realized that this was only a copy on the paper back. I think seller should explicitly mention so that buyer has a choice.
Loved this book! May 28, 2010
By iheartJA
I enjoyed reading this book. It was not dull and very informational! I think I am a little spoiled because my other books are not as well-written.
